CHATEAUROUX, France, July 29 (Xinhua) — Chinese shooter Huang Yuting is 0.1 points away from her second Paris Olympic gold as South Korean Ban Hyo-jin was crowned in the women's 10m air rifle event on Monday.

Ban shot 10.4 in a tense shoot-off, 0.1 more than 17-year-old Huang's result after the duo both collected 251.8 in the final, equaling the Olympic record.

Huang and Sheng Lihao set off China's Paris Olympics campaign to a golden start, winning the Games' first gold medal in the 10m air rifle mixed team event here on Saturday.
